OK, so our 4th of July events are a little slow getting posted, but we do have pictures to prove it! We went on a 10 mile hike with the kids in tow and everyone was accounted for by the end. Around mile 6 we thought we might have to leave Synnova to the bears, but she made it amongst the complaints of "MY FEET HURT". Both kids were real troopers. Henry walked/ran about 1.5 miles on his own and then rode in the pack the rest of they way. Everyone we went past said, "He has the best seat" or some comment like that. ha, ha, ha. There were a few miles that Henry insist I carry him in the pack to which Dan was utterly embarrassed when people passed and saw his wife was carrying his 2 year old in the pack while Dan enjoyed his leisurely hike.
It was hard comparing this hike to hiking in Nevada. We had shade the entire way. The weather was perfect. It did get a little hot by the end. The Rhododendruns were in bloom. There was shade. We hiked along a creek. There was shade. It was lovely.
We hiked to the top of the tallest waterfall in South Carolina (which isn't that tall considering the tallest peak isn't that tall, but still it was impressive), which has a suspension bridge crossing it (Nancy you would have died). We walked across the bridge, which plummeted a few hundred feet down on one side. It was exciting! Here are pictures of us at the falls just above the big falls and crossing the bridge.
We'll take anyone who visits with us next time. At any season it is a nice hike.
